Gombe Stream National Park
Jane Goodall's Chimpanzee Kingdom
About Gombe Stream National Park
Gombe Stream is where Jane Goodall began her groundbreaking chimpanzee research in 1960, and it remains one of the best places on Earth to observe wild chimps in their natural habitat. Tanzania's smallest national park sits on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, the world's longest freshwater lake.
